Lian Xin seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy and asked, "Is she missing again?"
This word "again" slightly changed Shi Zairong's impression of Su Zhirou. He didn't expect that after being stood up, ignored, and deceived time and time again, Tang Chen would still treat her like this. This white lotus attribute really made people pay attention. "It's not that she's missing. Come on, invite Su Zhirou over."
"yes."
A moment later, a soldier came in holding an urn. After carefully placing the contents on the table, he left. Lian Xin looked at the urn in shock, unable to believe his own speculation: "Could this be?"
Shi Zairong nodded and couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe he knew that Lin Feng might no longer be alive, so he wanted to atone for what he had done before."
Lian Xin stood there silently, thinking for a moment, before saying, "...Don't worry, Grand Master, I will pass it on to Madam."
Shi Zairong then added, "Thank you for your help. I'll be staying in the study for the next two days. If you need anything, you can ask Xie Zhuangshui or Xiao Liang to come to me directly."
Lian Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grand Master. Given the current situation, I probably won't bother you for too long."
The two of them were silent for a moment, unable to find anything else to talk about. Shi Zairong coughed twice and said, "Then if you need anything, just let me know. I'll be leaving first."
"Farewell, Grand Master."
As she was leaving, Shi Zairong suddenly remembered that since Lian Xin had come, it must not be just for Lin Zhenzhen's matter. No matter how close Lin Zhenzhen and Lian Xin were, it wasn't close enough for her to forget serious matters. "By the way, Huangfu Xiong and his father Huangfu Bin live next door. If you have anything you're curious about, just go find them next door. Unless something serious has happened to them, they don't like to go out. If you have something to ask, you have to be proactive."
"Thank you, Grand Master, for the reminder."
...Xiahou Jun dispatched a large number of troops. If it weren't for the fact that Qinghe County still needed guarding, he would have been eager to send everyone out to find Lin Feng. However, after searching for Lin Feng in vain, Xiahou Jun had no choice but to send a letter to the capital to report the matter. While the letter was still en route, Huangfu Ning and his group, who were heading towards Qingliang Valley, saw that they had completely shaken off the pursuers and decided to stop for a while to rest and admire the sunrise.
This gentle morning sun was as heartwarming as the day Li Xinzhai passed away. However, on that day, Li Xinzhai leaned against the carriage and watched Mo Yu's back, remaining forever in the warm sun. Lin Feng's situation was much better than his.
Seeing that Lin Feng's condition was relatively stable, the people in the carriage got out to stretch their muscles. Zhou Weiyong came back from finding some hay for the horses that had been working hard all day and night. While wiping the sweat from his face, he said, "Thanks to Brother Huangfu's help, we were able to avoid being tracked by Tianshu Tower all this time."
Huangfu Ning also said very modestly: "Mr. Zhou, you are too kind, but judging from the current situation, Tianshu Tower should be giving up. In this case, the future may depend on you, Mr.
Zhou Weiyong's expression slightly changed, and he frowned and asked, "Why don't you guys plan to go to Qingliang Valley with me?"
Huangfu Ning was grateful for Zhou Weiyong's invitation, but his mission wasn't over yet. He'd already promised Zhou Weiyong to help him rescue Lin Feng, but the Shengxi Gu and Huangfu Zhong hadn't been "recovered" yet. "Our mission isn't complete yet. Once everything is concluded successfully, if I have time, I'll go to Qingliang Valley and meet Mr. Zhou again."
Zhou Weiyong slapped his forehead in embarrassment. He had truly been indifferent to worldly affairs for too long and had actually forgotten something so important. "I didn't realize that Lin Feng had been rescued, but the people of the world were still threatened by Tianshu Tower."
Huangfu Ning smiled, then calmly touched his purse, frowning slightly. "Chongjun, you must have brought a lot of things this time. Give some to Mr. Zhou and the others for emergencies."
"Okay," Huangfu Chongjun said, and then he opened his bag and put it on the ground. He found a purse from it and put some loose change in it for Zhou Weiyong, and then stuffed a stack of silver bills of unknown amount into it. Huangfu Chongcong and Huangfu Chongyou were also very sensible and took out some dry food and two water bags from their bags and handed them to Zhou Weiyong.
Without waiting for Zhou Weiyong to thank him, Huangfu Ning suddenly said angrily, "I knew you little guys brought a lot of stuff. Tell me the truth, did you guys take so much money secretly?"
Huangfu Chongjun explained slowly, "Uncle, do you think we are that kind of people? Besides, we have the will but not the courage. These are all prepared by my mother. My mother said that a man should never bow down for a little rice when he is away from home. So, we must prepare enough money and food. We don't have to worry about eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping. That way, we won't be in a panic when something happens."
"That's actually good stuff, your mother is right. But remember, you have to be frugal. Frugality is a virtue, understand? It seems like you three brothers have quite a bit of money, and you're actually taking it from your uncle's pocket. Tsk, tsk, tsk, my uncle's heart is broken." The first half of the sentence was dispensable, and Huangfu Ning's focus should be on the second half. If he had known that these three brats were three invisible money bags, he wouldn't have had to spend so much money. It was so painful, because those were all his savings that he had worked so hard to save for so long!
Huangfu Chongyou, who is usually quiet, always says something very reasonable at some embarrassing moments: "When you go out, of course you have to hold on to your uncle's thigh!"
People outside were talking and laughing noisily. Perhaps infected by the positive and optimistic atmosphere, Lin Feng, who had been unconscious in the carriage for a long time, slowly opened his eyes and woke up. Just as he tried to stand up, he was choked by his saliva and started coughing non-stop.
When the people talking outside the carriage heard the continuous coughing coming from inside, Huangfu Ning quickly pulled the curtain and jumped in: "You guys are so noisy, you must have woken up the patient!"
"Uncle, it's obviously you..." After being glared at fiercely by Huangfu Ning for a while, Huangfu Chongjun suddenly became timid: "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After Huangfu Ning helped Lin Feng calm down, he asked with a smile, "How do you feel now, warrior?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "...I'm still a little dizzy."
